I think according to Dmitry these documentation locations
should be crammed somewhere in either "definition", "declaration" or
"typeDefinition" or "implementation".  Go figure.

I don't think these commands should exist in Xref though.  They
directly reflect a limited LSP-specific categorization of
cross-referenceable things that should be confined to Emacs's
LSP interface, which is Eglot.  So I will not be deprecating these
commands, unless LSP deprecates them.
